Extremely thrilled to have the inimitable and infinitely wise #real_one, artist Judy Glantzman, on the podcast this week. We cover her artistic beginnings in the East Village scene of the 80's (buckle up for some great stories), the vibrant multidisciplinary work coming out of her Upstate NY studio today, and everything in between. Also, don't miss her incredible philosophies about making art sprinkled throughout, and her essential tips for beating Artist's block. Judy is a painter, collage artist and sculptor and has been awarded grants from the Guggenhein Foundation, NYFA-NYSCA, Pollock Krasner Foundation and Anonymous Was a Woman. She is also an educator (RISD, Pratt, NYSS, etc.) and is open to artists who need some online feedback-just dm her at the IG below.

Judy Glantzman is represented by Betty Cuningham Gallery in NYC. Also, find her on IG @judyglantzman

Judy's Artist's Block Blockers

(as summarized by Amy and her irrepressible need to be pithy):

1. Seed Theory (every part of a piece is a seed!)

2. Make a Doodle Painting *or* Make a Garbage Painting

3. Bravery Lives in the Living Room (and often in a basket!)

4. Nosy Nextdoor Neighbors

5. Be a Bad Art Student

6. Silly Geese Wear Paper Crowns

7. Your Work is Not Your Own

8. If You Think It, You Have to Make It

9. The Road to Freedom is Paved With Repetition (hot off the presses! in this ep!)

Thank you, Judy! Thank you, Listeners!

See you next time.
